Pesticide exposure can be especially problematic for vulnerable populations, and even more so for children in vulnerable populations who are still developing, such as Latinx children. Several studies have demonstrated the negative cognitive effects of prenatal exposure to pesticides, particularly organophosphates (OPs). We previously reported the results from a baseline study (Dobbins et al., 2022) designed to compare the cognitive abilities of 8-year-old children from rural, farmworking families and urban, non-farmworking families. We found that the children from both populations have considerable pesticide exposure, but to different chemicals. The children of farmworkers had greater exposure to OPs, while the children of non-farmworkers had greater exposure to organochlorines (OCs) and pyrethroids. Using the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V), baseline analyses determined that children of non-farmworkers exhibited lower cognitive scores, specifically on the VSI (visual spatial) and VCI (verbal comprehension) indices. The current study examined the longitudinal significance of these findings in the same participants over a 2-3-year period. We present evidence that children from non-farmworking families exhibited significant declines on the FRI (fluid reasoning index) of the WISC-V. The children from farmworker families did not decline, and this longitudinal difference between the groups was significant. Our findings further suggest that these declines in FRI scores are likely due to greater cumulative OC exposure over the entire longitudinal period.&lt;/p&gt;

Pesticide exposures and their biological outcomes are not well characterized in this population group. We assessed pesticide exposure and related these exposures to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in Latinx children from rural, farmworker families (FW;  = 30) and from urban, non-farmworker families (NFW;  = 15) living in North Carolina. DSBs were quantified in hair follicular cells by immunostaining of 53BP1, and exposure to 72 pesticides and pesticide degradation products were determined using silicone wristbands. Cholinesterase activity was measured in blood samples. DSB frequencies were higher in FW compared to NFW children. Seasonal effects were detected in the FW group, with highest DNA damage levels in April-June and lowest levels in October-November. Acetylcholinesterase depression had the same seasonality and correlated with follicular DNA damage. Organophosphate pesticides were more frequently detected in FW than in NFW children. Participants with organophosphate detections had increased follicular DNA damage compared to participants without organophosphate detection. Follicular DNA damage did not correlate with organochlorine or pyrethroid detections and was not associated with the total number of pesticides detected in the wristbands. These results point to rural disparities in pesticide exposures and their outcomes in children from vulnerable immigrant communities. They suggest that among the different classes of pesticides, organophosphates have the strongest genotoxic effects. Assessing pesticide exposures and their consequences at the individual level is key to environmental surveillance programs. To this end, the minimally invasive combined approach used here is particularly well suited for children.&lt;/p&gt;
